851 meters per hour is about three-and-a-half times as fast as a Sloth.

In other words, the speed of a Sloth is 0.290 times that amount.

(for Brown-throated three-toed sloth, Bradypus variegatus)The three-toed sloth moves along the ground at an average speed of 240 meters per hour. Long thought to be lengthy sleepers, a 2008 study concluded that sloths sleep an average of only 9.6 hours per day.
